The New York Islanders continue to have issues on the road, but there are no excuses here. If the Islanders want to remain in the playoff conversation, these are games they need to take advantage of. The Anaheim Ducks don’t play a lick of defense, and the towel has been thrown in on their season. If the Islanders are a playoff threat, these are games they win. I’ll lay the juice.
